For the luddites.... what is a hard refresh? F5?

I think he means Ctrl-F5, which forces the browser to get all the elements of the web page from the web-server again, instead of the more usual method of just getting everything that hasn't changed (by timestamp) from the local cache of stuff on your machine

basically your pc stores the web page in its cache and when you go onto that page again it just updates the changes. hard refresh wipes out all that cache and reloads the complete page. it is recommended on most forums but i think you only need to do it the once at the start but not sure hence the question

I thought Ctrl-F5 would clear the "cookie of death" if you get the dreaded grey screen. Otherwise just "F5" less than every second is the way forward... But use the back button if the booking page bombs out not F5 or you'll get chucked back into the queue.

I think that is reload. Cant work out what refresh is. That said we use that or the icon on the right end of the address bar.

Ctrl-r on Mac is the same as F5 on Windows, ie. reload / refresh the page, both the same - this is what to use on the busy page

I'm on a Dell laptop, first time in using it for a Glastonbury sale. Refresh seems to be Ctrl + R.. anyone know if that is normal refresh or 'hard refresh'?

Ctrl + shift + R also refreshes, I'm assuming that is hard refresh..

CTRL + R is another way to refresh

You should still have an F5 key

F5 doesn't seem to refresh, just controls the volume.

Not sure if there's a way to make it so it does? First laptop I've had where F5 doesn't seem to refresh

That's strange alright.

I also have a Dell and all my function keys (F1 - F12) all have primary commands with the function - F5 for instance, being the secondary command. 

So to do a refresh, I hold the 'FN' key and hit F5. Pressing F5 without pressing the 'FN' key will only do it's primary command, which in your case is the volume

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.
